PAID IN GOLD COIN.

In Dee. 1886 |. S. johnson 81 Co., %
eight premiums payable in gold coin,
which they say created a great interest
among people who kept hens, SO much SO,
in fact, that they authorize as to say that
they shall offer Nov. 1st 1887, another list
of premiums for the best results from the
use Of Sheridan's Powder TO Make Hens
Lay. OF course all who compete cannot
get one of the premiums, but some of the
parties ought to have been well satisfied
if they had not received any other benefit
than the increase of eggs they got while
making the trial. For example the first
premium was twenty-five dollars taken by
G. A. French, Washington, N. H., who
fed thirty hens the Sheridan's Powder for
eight weeks. The first week he got only
ten eggs; the third week the hens laid POI
eggs, and the eighth week 2oS eggs. Dur
ing the eight weeks trial he got 1893 eggs
which, at the price of eggs in Boston or
New York markets in mid-winter, would
have yielded SAG. 60, or 81. 81 for each hen
in eight weeks time. Considering the
small expense of keeping a hen no animal
on a farm will pay like that. The fourth
premium, which was ten dollars, went to
Mrs. E. B. Carlin, Conklin Centre, N. T.,
who in the eight weeks received from forty
hens 1907 eggs. The first week she only
got 3G g but the last week PIT eggs.
This clearly demonstrates that the use
of Sheridan's Powder to Make Hens Lay
will increase the profit several hundred
per cen
johnson & Co. will send two % cent
packs of Sheridan's Powder postpaid to
any address for 50 cents in postage stamps;
or a large q pound can of Powder for
$f.20. To each person ordering a large
can as above they will send free one copy
of the Farmers Poultry Guide, (price,

RELIEF FROM MILDEW AND ROSE
RIFGS.

Col. A. w. Pearson expresses himself
well pleased with the results of his expert
meuts with the sulphate of copper m
dies recommended by the Department of
Agriculture. The eau celeste (bluewater,
a simple solution of sulphate of copper,
with ammonia), SO he tells us, has not
only saved his vines from injury by mil
dew, but also rid them entirely and speed
lily from the rose bugs, that were infesting
them by millions and threatened to destroy
every vestige of fruit and foliage.
The Rose chatter, it will be remembers ed,
is one of the greatest scourges that fruit
owe gardeners and orchardists had to
contend with the past season in this and
other States, and we are glad to be able to
tell our friends of this cheap and effective
remedy against the troublesome insect.
Bear the virtues of can celeste in mind, and
when another army Of rosebugs appears,
you will know how to act promptly.

Housekeeping is getting to be ready
made, as well as clothing. The culinary
department may be almost abolished and
prepared food got from the grocery. There
are canned soups, canned mince meat and
canned Boston baked beans. Coffee is
bought both parched and ground, and
spices and pepper are prepared for Use.
Self-raising flour can be bought at any
grocery. Fruit of all kinds ready for the
table can be got about as cheaply as that
little above the cost of the raw food; sal
mon. lobster and the like are sold cooked
and ready to be served. Every kind of
bread, cake and pastry can be purchased
at a slight advance on the cost of the ma
terials they contain. Cooked corned beef,
tongue, pigs feet and ham have long been
ON the market. Even plum buildings are
canned, while cans of cooked green corn.
asparagus, with Saratoga fried potatoes,
are on the shelves of every grocery.
Cooking seems no longer to be necessary
in housekeeping, for a little warming over
of food will answer. Provided with a can
opener, a coffee pot and a frying pan, with
an oil stove on which to place them, a
housekeeper can get up a meal in the
twinkling of an eye, with a little assistance
from the neighboring bakery. Even the
cook boob may yet be obsolete, for every
can of prepared food has a label with d.
rections how to cook. This is very diff
ferent from the old housekeeping that re-
quired a range or stove, a coffee and spice
mill, a mortar, a cake board and rolling
pin, a tray and chopping knife, not to
mention numerous pots and kettles, frying
pans and bowls, and a large stock of raw
provisions.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.
iii ucaIsi of American Women.

The i'll health that prevails to SO great
all extent among American women has
grown to be a subject of much considera-
ton. Virginia Penny enumerates various
causes for the weakness and early breaking
down of her country women, who, in this
respect, compare i'll with English m
Much of the insanity among her sex she
attributes to the lack of out door exercise
in childhood and precocious development
of mind. American girls have a fairer,
fresher appearance from 16 to IS years of
age than foreigners, but they fade earlier.
The loss of health and detection of spirits
among the middle and higher classes of
society are mostly from the want of regu-
lar occupation; some definite aim, some
high and eleyating pursuit.
The health of women that work in the
fields is generally excellent because of
their exercise in pure air. According to
Miss Penny, moderate exercise in the open
air will give vigor and freedom to both
mind and body.
The early entrance into society of most
American ladies has its bad effect. The
unsettled state of mind it e~ngenders, the
Intense love of excitement, are Ger tainly
Instantaneous.
American women, according to our au.
thority, marry too early and live too Sc
cluded. Many are scarcely out of school
before they are settled down as wives and
housekeepers, the cares Of d family de-
volving on them before they have the
strength and nerve to perform them. Most
m do not know enough of the laws
of health. The majority of married women,
with families of small children, need more
relaxation and greater variety of recrea-
ton. Many become so chained down in
body and mind by household cares and
labors that health and spirits sink beneath
the load and they grow prematurely old.
Some housewives suffer from bad servants;
some perform drudgery for which they are
unfit. The indoor labor performed by
American women is prodigious. What
affects the body influences the mind. When
one is worn the other,is irritated. English
women have more and better servants.
English women walk and ride more, mar
nv later and have better constitutions by
nature.

A WORKOUT Respondent woman is a dis
grace to the man she calls husband, for 1t
is as a rule his fault, or his neglect that
makes her so. He would be ashamed to
drive a lean, scare-crew of a horse, and yet
he lets his wife go about looking tagged
out and ~forlorn. To be sure he does not
go with her much. He has let money get
ting and selhshness wrap him about, till,
if he does still love his wife, he forgets to
tell her SC, or thinks hat nonsense over
long ago, not realizing that his love and
the daily manifestation of it are more to
her than all the wealth of the world. So
he goes his way among men, aud let's her
drag on YEARLY with her never endin g
work. If he wants to see what a change
he can make in her let him help hera little
with her work, but above all, tell her in
words and deeds that he loves her, better
thar MS money, better than his horse; let
him teach his boys that their mother is a
precious thing to be taken care OF, loved
and cherished, and he will have again a
happy home.

woMEx VOTERS IN KANSAS.
That They Want 20 Vote is Proved by
The Number that Voted.

Judge Adams, secretary of the State
Historical Society, has just completed a
compilation of the recent municipal vote,
which was the first one taken under the
new law giving women the right to vote.
The compilation shows that in 232 cities
of the State which voted there was a total
of 80, 1874 votes, Of which Ga, s46 were male
votes and 2 ,348 were female voters.
Judge Adams report is accompanied by
the following statement:
81 have been most thoroughly impressed
with the conviction hat the people of Kan
sas, at last springs election, completely
solved the woman suffrage question. 1t is
no longer 4 question whether women want
to vote. They do want to vote. This is
proven by the fact that they have voted at
the first opportunity given them. They
voted with an intelligent. jealous, earnest
interest in the good of the community in
which they have their homes"
He comments upon the unexpectedly
large vote of women and upon the healthy
influence of their presence in banishing
riot and disorder from the polling places.
He remarks upon the courtesies every
where extended to the lady voters and
gives statements ss to how the men of all
parties We'd in escorting the ladies to the
polls in carriages, how the ladies came to
the polls accompanied by their husbands,
sometimes single; sometimes in groups and
quietly deposited their votes and returned
quietly to their homes, and how sometimes
they came by scores and fifties from points
of assemblage and in some instances from
churches, were they had met and prayed
together before coming.

false Economy.

One of the great evils OF American life is the
attempt to believe that we are getting s.sonse-
thing for nothing While this is obviously a..
fallacy, they are yet many who persist in be
lieving that money is saved by the uaiity
because it Will, to "A certain extent, answer
the purpose, while a better one that VIII do
better service and is really worth double the
moasy expended, costs a few dollars more.
In nothing else is this more clearly proven
than by the purchase of the low priced sewing
Machines now flooding the country, while this
new ~ssi,avis" the best Machine ia The market
only costs from 81 10 $40 more.
